New Prelim Tank updates

To be honest, the auto-attack bonus is pretty hefty to overall single-target dps. Larger even than Deliverance at full stacks. It just feels like crap.

You just outlined the problem with it right there. The fact is that it is only a Dps gain on single targets. In any circumstance in which there is more than one, your auto-attack is essentially useless. Personally, I was hoping to see it adjusted for TP management. Something along the lines of swapping to SwO grants additional Tp for each auto attack, while increasing overall skill speed.

That middle part is why Skill Speed without changing the TP tick rate to 50 per GCD has always seemed an oversight to me. Granted, with so many TP cost reductions across the board, I don't even feel like I'd have to Paeon anymore. I'd just have the NIN goad the Monk and call it a day. Maybe make the PLD Clemency for his TP. /shrug.

That's the same problem that we have now. The only way for a Pld to actually sustain their TP over the course of a fight is to actively sabotage their own Dps by not maintaining their attack. That's garbage. Clemency is great and all, but Pld's should not have to use it when they don't have to use it. It should be used for utility, not as a stop-gap in our TP draw.

Agreed completely on Cover and Tempered Will. Even just the ability to toggle/cancel the link or properly mitigate the transferred damage or interrupt-proofing on TW would be a godsend.

I would have even taken an esuna effect. ANYTHING would have been better than the way it is now.
